deleted by creator
I left after the API price hike.
Same. And it didn’t impact me directly but clearly demonstrated the value of a distributed platform.
Left during the API thing, and everything I see confirms that I made the right choice.
Especially the fact that there are no investors to appease, no profit motive, and no advertising. It’s like a slice of the old web.
Same. I couldn’t stand the Reddit app and all the ads loaded in it. I switched the day Apollo stopped working.
Ditto. API thing was transition as well
Same! As soon as I was forced to use the official Reddit app over Sync, I jumped ship
Yep. Apollo shutting down is why I created an account, deleted all my content and my Reddit account once things started getting really fucky.
Same here. Left and never looked back.
Shout out to all my ~1 year 9 month old account homies
Ayy, same day!
I’ve still got an account. But I jumped over during the API debacle. I’m sure if I stayed I would have been banned for commenting on the Luigi situation, or calling Musk and Trump out for the dimwitted little Nazi fucks they are.
But I’m here! A proud little lemming just feeling blessed AF to be here with all you nerds!
I came here during the API thing then went back because it’s quiet here. Then I came back because I got into selfhosting and now I’m more dug in.
Idk why I would get banned from Reddit
I like lemmy more and decided to get my accounts banned in reddit after I started using lemmy.
Lemmy is a much nicer environment overall, so i moved here
Unlike the rest here I got perma banned and then found Lemmy! 🥲
My opinions on a certain orange thing was a bit top radical for ol reddit… but then again gore and murder Videos are okay.
I’ll join you somewhere around this statement.
i got shadowbanned recently on my only account, and the rest was purged in feburary by reddit.
I’m on both, I like both. Been liking Reddit less and less over the years, I expect at some point I’ll stop going, but for now it’s still okay.
I was never on reddit
Like many here, I left reddit during the whole API debacle, and I was doing really good about avoiding reddit for a while, but there’s way less people here, way less communities, and while yes, I could start the communities I’d like to see on Lemmy, I just don’t think there are enough users to have engaging conversations yet. For that reason, I maintain my reddit account, so that I can have those conversations and connections that I can’t get here. I hope it changes some day and we can grow our numbers here.
Reddit has been getting worse and eventually they just stopped showing people my comments so I deleted my account. Pretty much the next day the warnings for upvotes started coming in.
sounds like you got shadowbanned to me, when people stop responding to you, or nobody can see your comments thats what happens. you can check your profile while logged out, you know its shadowbanned if its says "cant find this user info:
Not yet. I did get a comment removed but successfully appealed for saying what citizens do to kings. The appeal was me saying it was in a historical context, of course ;)
I barely use Reddit now. I’ve unfollowed any sub that has an equivalent here.
The main one holding me back is that native speakers of my language are there.
I’m perma banned for spreading Luigi related posts.
